Truck: zhlt.wad in Hammer Mapping

They are the same exact thing just a different look, For example, And aaa_trigger sign for me looks like a bunch of HL symbols, And for another person depending on which texture Hammer decides to use appears as T for trigger, SO dont worry about how they look they have the SAME exact effect.

Truck: need help with mapname.bat in Hammer Mapping

---

This happens when you dont even configure it for your map, Right click on <mapname>.bat and click EDIT. This should open a text document. Copy and paste this into it:

With Steam
[code:1]@echo off
hlcsg <mapname>
hlbsp <mapname>
hlvis <mapname>
hlrad <mapname>
copy <mapname>.bsp "C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\<STEAM ACCOUNT>\counter strike\cstrike\maps"[/code:1]

Be sure to fill in <mapname> with the name of your .map file, And <STEAM ACCOUNT> with the name of your account.

I was gonna ask SuperJer if I could do that, But I suck at map making and i dont know all of the textures for McDiddys although they look like they were made with paint

Truck: Vehicles, How To? in Hammer Mapping

---

Im trying to make a map with vehicles like in air_fight maps (if you have ever heard of them). Anyways, I made a flat brush and transformed it into a func_vehicle Then i made a brush and put it on the func_vehicle and transformed it into a func_vehicle_controls, I named the vehicle and targeted it with the func_vehicle_controls, So I go into my map to test if it works, And when I use the vehicle it starts and disappears.


And another question.

Im using cstrike.wad and halflife.wad and 12 other CZ wads, And yet i cant find see through glass. Do I have to do something to make it see through? I have a lot of glass textures glass_bright glass_med, That sort of thing but again none are see through like the truck in cs_assault has see through glass.

Truck: Idea for Weapon-Stripping in Hammer Mapping

---

Well I have 5 maps the one with the "Shotgun Hole" is just one of the ones that has this problem, BTW the weaponstripping, and player_equips are all triggered by func_buttons with "Touch Activates" flags. So there is really no way to help this problem im guessing.

-Ive figured out the problem but something much worse is happening now.

hlcsg: Error: Entity 32, Brush 0, Side 1: plane with no normal

hlcsg: Error: Entity 32, Brush 0, Side 1: has a coplanar plane at (-465, -128, 208), texture AAATRIGGER

hlcsg: Error: Entity 32, Brush 0, Side 3: has a coplanar plane at (-465, -96, 208), texture AAATRIGGER

hlcsg: Error: Entity 32, Brush 0, Side 4: plane with no normal

hlcsg: Error: Entity 32, Brush 0, Side 4: has a coplanar plane at (-465, -96, 382), texture AAATRIGGER

*SNIP*

What is even more odd is that none of these have AAA_TRIGGER texture AND, Entity 32 does not exist.
